Zhuang Lin crossed his arms and looked at it for a while. Seeing that the tortoise was working so hard, he kindly picked it up and wanted to put it back on the seat.

When I picked it up, I immediately saw the calligraphy left by Chang Zhu and the old dragon on the turtle's tail shell.

Zhuang Lin thought it was engraved by the prince messing around. He laughed at first, but couldn't help being slightly surprised when he saw it clearly. He held Xuan Qing up to the candle for a closer look. The prince's pet was bearing the name of the national teacher, which was a bit disrespectful. What's more, it is still engraved on the back of a turtle.Zhuang Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and looked again with the strange thoughts in his heart, but he saw that the characters were engraved in reverse, using the technique of engraving a seal, the handwriting was as strong as a turtle's back, and the knife skills were very exquisite.

Zhuang Lin held it up and down and looked at it. The tortoise's face was so blue that it was almost the same color as its shell, and it was waving its claws and struggling desperately, trying to escape from Zhuang Lin's grasp.

Strange to say, Xuan Qing hated Zhuang Lin so much that she gritted her teeth in her heart, wishing she could immediately show her huge real body, and swallow him alive like a dumpling, without chewing!But when he got close to Zhuang Lin and even fell into Zhuang Lin's hands, he felt a sense of awe for no reason, everything from his bones to his four claws softened, and he had no choice but to surrender and capture him.

Just like right now, Xuan Qing really wanted to show her paws and scratch the bloody streaks on Zhuang Lin's face, but it was as if some invisible force was suppressing him in the dark, and she thought about it several times, but what happened to the paws? Can't stretch out either.

Although Zhuang Lin was a general, he came from a scholarly family, and he was quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting. Seeing that Chang Zhu's two-character iron painting with silver hooks was vigorous and powerful, he held the tortoise and looked at it for a while.Later, I saw the tortoise struggling hard, and his face turned blue from holding back, but a pair of small mung bean eyes stared at him viciously.Zhuang Lin felt a little funny, he naturally wouldn't have trouble with the prince's little plaything, so he put the tortoise back on the cushion.

It's just that Zhuang Lin admired Chang Zhu's pen and ink quite a lot, and at the end of the day, he stretched out his hand out of nowhere to touch the handwriting engraved on the tortoise shell.

The tortoise hadn't recovered from its stingy breath, but in an instant, it felt five thunders crashing on its top, smashing it until it was scorched black with a rumbling sound.At first it was pinched in Zhuang Lin's hand and turned over and looked at, but it was powerless to retaliate. It already felt a great humiliation, but now it was touched by someone's buttocks, it almost exploded its lungs, and it really couldn't swallow the breath.

The momentary anger finally suppressed its groundless awe of Zhuang Lin, the tortoise angrily turned its head, bared its sharp teeth, and bit down on Zhuang Lin's sinful finger fiercely like lightning.

Zhuang Lin didn't have time to dodge, and was yelled at by it. He couldn't help but yelled, and then remembered something, and forcibly endured the pain.He looked at the bed and saw that Long Ba was still asleep, he felt relieved a little, and turned his head to wrestle with the turtle, trying to tear it away from his fingers.

Of course, Xuan Qing would not easily let him get what he wanted. Its four claws tightly hugged Zhuang Lin's wrist, refusing to let go. Its teeth were sharp, and it grinded its teeth fiercely, and soon tasted a faint smell of blood in its mouth.Xuan Qing is very happy: Dare to touch Master Turtle's buttocks, let's see if Master will not bite your stinky hooligan's salty pig's trotters to pieces!

Thinking of this, he put more effort into his mouth, even the strength of feeding, the bloody smell in his mouth became stronger and stronger, it didn't want to let Zhuang Lin go, still didn't let go, but straightened its neck , swallowed the mouthful of blood mixed with saliva.

When the blood was eaten, it seemed like a raging fire suddenly burst into flames, burning to every inch of the meridian pores of the four claws, the marrow, the five viscera and six internal organs.

At that moment, the tortoise felt as if he had fallen into a pan of boiling oil, and he felt as if he was being tortured by thousands of cuts, and the knife that cut the flesh was still hooked!It was so painful that it just wanted to roll over and scream.But he only had time to let go and let out a scream, before his eyes darkened and he passed out, his four claws could no longer hold Ji Lin's wrist, he let go with a click, and the whole turtle fell straight to the ground.

Zhuang Lin quickly caught it with his eyelashes and hands.I just feel confused and inexplicable.Holding the tortoise and shaking it, I saw that the tortoise's eyes were closed tightly, and its head, tail and four claws were hanging down limply. Zhuang Lin shook it and followed it, as if he had no consciousness.

Zhuang Lin was startled, and shook vigorously. The tortoise only moved its paws slightly, opened its eyes a little, rolled them and passed out again.

Just now the tortoise was alive and kicking but biting with all its might, Zhuang Lin really didn't know why it suddenly became like this, but seeing that it was still alive, he was slightly relieved.Just shake the tortoise again, but the tortoise can't get up like drunk.

The tortoise rested on the cushion with its four paws spread out, its head weakly moved up and down following Zhuang Lin's manipulation, occasionally shaking its paws and opening its eyes, it was almost soft into a puddle of mud.

Although Zhuang Lin felt that this had nothing to do with him, and that he was wronged by being bitten for nothing, the tortoise was the prince's pet after all. Looking at the situation when he talked to it just now, the prince liked the tortoise quite a lot. If there is anything wrong with this tortoise, I am afraid that the little prince will cry sadly again, so he can't help but feel a little guilty.

He looked at the condition of the tortoise as if it had gone mad, but he didn't know if the tortoise would also suffer from this disease. He was at a loss and studied around the tortoise for a long time. After a sigh of relief, it no longer had the energy to pay attention to Zhuang Lin, curled up tiredly and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Zhuang Lin wiped the hot sweat that came out of his forehead, thought for a while that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, went out and called two palace servants, and told them to take good care of the prince, Zhuang Lin left the prince's bedroom.

When I went out, there was a flash of lightning in the sky, followed by the rumbling of thunder. I didn’t know when the clouds were thick, and after a while, the big raindrops fell with a crackling sound. At this time, the palace gate was half closed, and Zhuang Lin was on guard at night I made do with sleeping in the ear room for the rest of the night.

The emperor had been ill for a long time, and since he vomited blood and was frightened when he was assassinated last time, the situation has not been very good, and the courtiers actually had a rough idea.The will was made before, and the late emperor didn't like to make publicity, so he confessed that everything should be kept simple after death.In addition, the country cannot be without a king for a day, but within ten days, the coffin was moved and buried together with the matter of the crown prince's ascension to the throne.

Although things are hasty and simple, etiquette cannot be completely abolished.In the past few days, there have been so many red tapes that it is difficult to repeat them.Long Ba was sad at first, but later he was exhausted from the torture. His back was sore, his legs were weak, his head was heavy, his feet were light, his claws were weak, and he didn't even have the strength to cry.On the day of ascension to the pole, he was almost dragged off the bed by the anxious palace servants, who pushed and dragged Li Ba to take a bath and change clothes.

After waiting, Long Ba walked out the door with vain steps, but saw Zhuang Lin waiting outside the door, who seemed to be waiting anxiously, pacing hurriedly in the corridor.Seeing him coming out but not mentioning the long wait, he just smiled and said: "Fortunately, the hour was not delayed."

Long Ba raised his head and looked towards the roofs of the surrounding palaces.He still remembered that when he entered the palace that day, Ao Jun saw him off on the eaves along the street.

In the past few days, he has written to Ao Jun to inform Ao Jun of the changes in Beijing. It is said that these two days have reached the agreed ten-day period, but the situation there is turbulent, and it happens that Ao Jun can't get away. It's not that it hasn't happened before, it's just that such a big incident has never been encountered before.Ao Jun was also very guilty of not being able to get away, and he apologized to Long Ba repeatedly in the letter and comforted him gently. Come to embolden him, feeling a little empty in my heart for no reason.

The eaves were empty, and there was no one there, except for the rising sunshine of autumn on the resplendent glazed tiles, which was a little dazzling.

Long Ba stared blankly for a while, his eyes ached from the light, and he was on the verge of tears.

Zhuang Lin didn't understand all the twists and turns in his mind, he just thought that he was really tired and scared when he thought about all the rituals for adults to worship their ancestors, worship their ancestors and ascend to the heavens.So he comforted softly: "Prince, just be patient and persevere. After today, everything will be fine."

He stretched out his hand to hold Long Ba, his palm was broad and warm, as if to make Long Ba feel at ease, he shook it gently.

Long Ba sighed, looked back at the empty eaves again, and followed him honestly.
